Pursue your passion with the world’s most popular flatwound strings, D’Addario XL Chromes electric guitar strings. XL Chromes offer the perfect balance of smooth feel and warm, mellow, fat tone and deliver a round, full low end without losing punch. Loved by professional and amateur musicians, they are the ideal strings for traditional jazz, rockabilly twang, R&B and some pop/rock styles of playing. D’Addario leverages centuries of string-making experience and advanced computer-controlled winding technology to bring you the most durable, consistent and long-lasting guitar strings. Made in the USA for the highest quality and performance, only D’Addario strings are sealed inside and out. XL Chromes flat wound stainless-steel strings are expertly “ribbon” wound onto a complex series of interlocking under-windings then precisely polished for an ultra-smooth feel. They have virtually no finger noise and deliver a distinctive damped but tone-rich sound. And thanks to the corrosion resistant packaging, the strings are always fresh. The string gauges in this electric string set include: Plain steel .012, .016, and Nickel Wound .024, .032, .042, .052.
